new Springsteen 'rumour'

[Originalshez]

From what I can gather, Bruce and the band assumed they were playing live, and played as so. Whether the producers chose to use the live playing or a rehearsal is a different matter.

Well, it might be true. But if it was pre-reorded, why do you have feedback problems on some of the intruments? and why is the fireworks slightly out of sync? The fireworks would have been spot on if it was pre-recorded?

Alltough I heard that Bruce demanded it all to be all live playing, and several who where on the pit have posted that all the instruments where sound checked, and that there where "roadies" concting cabels under the stage while it was rolled out.. why would they do all that if it was a mime?

But the most disturbing thing that leades me to think it might have been mime is looking at Miami Steve playing his guitar during Born To Run.

But, really, it was a show for all of America, and not for the people interessted in the music. Remember 100 million viewers, who just want a good show right there and then.

Springsteen have played far better then that live since 1975, so really he does not have much to prove in that sense.

And dont forget it is coming from NME, can we trust them?

Not a chance it was mimed!

Take a look at the post from BTX on the privious page, it makes a lot of sense.
